The Data Sessions Accelerating Business value through data and analytics

Overview

As businesses realise that questions around digital transformation are changing from “if” to “how fast can we can pivot?”, top executives have to plan out a new data-led strategy for operations as it can radically change product delivery, customer experience, bring down time to market, increase productivity and help expand to new markets.

Data at the centre

Data, undeniably, is everywhere – and day after day, as the digital world transforms more human actions into data-generating experiences, its volume continues to grow. In fact, by 2025, data-driven interactions will reach 4,785 per person per day, as the global “datasphere” grows to 163 zettabytes.
All that data represents a massive opportunity for financial services organizations. Intelligence. Optimization. Innovation. Revenue. Expansion. Risk Management. And competitive edge. So where do data-driven insights have the most impact? And what types of benefits can you expect to see?

Introducing The Data Sessions – Accelerating Business value through data and analytics

Forbes’ David Kirkpatrick famously claimed, “Now every company is a software company.” The same thing has become true of data: Every company is now a data company, too. That’s because insights from analytics have become an essential driver of innovation, optimization, and competitive edge.

Everyone can agree that data is a strategic asset, containing tremendous potential value. Data is everywhere, always growing, always changing and nearly all companies can use it to their advantage.  How can your business keep up with it, and get the most value out of it? The point of analytics is to unlock that value by delivering the insights that drive transformation – and ultimately competitive edge.

This session, which will include five panellists and a moderator, will look at using data and analytics across sectors and why it is relevant.
